Swansea vs Liverpool Player Ratings
Brendan Rodgers' wait for his first win over former club Swansea continues as Liverpool were held to a goalless draw against the Swans.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
In a contest between two sides that play similar styles of football, neither side could find the clinical edge to take away three points from the encounter.
Liverpool had several opportunities in the first half including an effort ruled offside for Jose Enrique, but the Reds' best opportunity of the night came after a second period counter-attack led by Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling. Unfortunately for Liverpool, the Uruguayan's shot was saved by Swansea goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel.
Gerhard Tremmel - 6.0
The Swansea custodian made surprisingly few saves despite the number of shots afforded to the Reds attack, and Tremmel should count himself lucky to come away with the clean sheet.
Angel Rangel - 5.0
Having to deal with the movement of Jose Enrique down his side meant Rangel could not go on his usual attacking runs. Although the Swansea defender placed himself in appropriate positions to stay close to Enrique, he struggled to cut out the Liverpool player's attacking passes.
Ashley Williams - 5.5
Despite coming up against a player he reportedly has "no respect" for, Williams found himself toiling to keep the Reds striker quiet, like so many other central defenders before him. The Welshman also appeared particularly suspect during set-pieces, during which he allowed his man Glen Johnson to power two headers over Tremmel's goal-mouth.
Chico - 6.0
The Spaniard made several thumping clearances in his attempt to maintain Tremmel's clean sheet, but Chico could do little about the onslaught of Liverpool attacks that headed his way. Struggling to nick the ball off Enrique and Luis Suarez, the central defender could only give chase and hope for the Reds to shoot wide each time.
Ben Davies - 6.0
Hot on the heels of committing his long-term future to the club, the 19-year proved why he was one Wales' rising defenders with an energetic showing against Raheem Sterling. While he was often outmatched for pace by Sterling, he chased down the Reds player every time he was passed, and proved surprisingly threatening in attack with his movement up the flank.
Leon Britton - 6.5
Easily Swansea's unsung hero of the game, the central midfielder put in a tidy showing to prove why the team did not miss the influence of Joe Allen. The Englishman also proved his selflessness by putting his body on the line to clear away several deliveries that jeopardized his team's goal.
Jonathan de Guzman (off 84') - 4.5
The Dutchman started brightly for Swansea, but struggled to carry out his playmaking role when faced with a two banks of Red in front of him. Though he was involved in a few rare Swansea breakaways, de Guzman's lack of haste in decision-making often resulted in him losing the ball before the possession amounted to anything.
Wayne Routledge (off 66') - 5.0
The Englishman varied his movement often, going into channels to support Michu and Itay Shechter. While his runs appeared menacing on several occasions, his attempts at incisive passes were often cut out by the Liverpool centre-backs.
Pablo Hernandez - 6.5
One of Swansea's brighter sparks in attack during the first half, the Spaniard did well to vary his movement, confusing the Liverpool defence with his mazy runs. However, his influence in the game diminished considerably during the second period as his team saw very little of the ball.
Michu - 6.5
Playing in the hole just behind Shechter, Michu could have had more of an impact on the match had he received the ball more often from midfield. However, close marking from Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel meant the Spaniard had minimal impact on the game, although his physical presence did cause a slight headache for Liverpool during set-pieces.
Itay Shechter (off 45') - 4.5
The striker was unsurprisingly substituted at half-time as he did little more except to fire hopeful shots from outside the penalty area despite being afforded time on the ball by the Liverpool defence.
Ki Sung-Yeung (on 45') - 3.5
Despite being brought on to add flair and creativity to the Swansea midfield, Ki was largely disappointing in his 45 minute spell. The Korean nearly cost his team a goal when he misplaced a clearance right into the path of Suarez.
Nathan Dyer (on 66') - 6.0
The winger took up a position down the right flank for Swansea, as his manager Michael Laudrup hoped to take advantage of Stewart Downing's inexperience in defence. Dyer proved dangerous on the counter-attack, but he was not afforded enough support to alter the score-line.
Kemy Agustein (on 84') - 6.0
Pepe Reina - 7.0
With his defenders seemingly content to allow Swansea to keep the ball, Reina was forced to be on his toes for most of the game. Nonetheless, the 30-year old proved that he was unaffected by his time on the side-lines, clocking in dedicated performance to convince manager Brendan Rodgers that it was the right decision to restore him to the starting 11.
Glen Johnson - 6.5
Johnson did a much better job of supporting the Liverpool attack as compared to Downing, with his rampaging runs often resulting in decent crosses that troubled Swansea goalkeeper Tremmel.
Jose Enrique - 7.5
The Spaniard has been thriving in his left wing role in recent games and he maintained his good attacking form in this fixture. Whether it was turning compatriot Rangel inside and out or finding pockets of space behind the watchful eye of the Swansea defence, one almost expected Enrique to get on the score-sheet or create an opening every time he was on the ball.
Martin Skrtel - 6.5
Skrtel was the better of the two Reds central defenders, rising to make several vital headers to deny the lurking Michu from scoring during Swansea set-plays
Daniel Agger - 6.5
Although the Dane attempted to keep up with the trickiness of Hernandez and Shechter, he was often left flat-footed by the Swansea duo.
Joe Allen - 5.0
The Welshman has struggled to rediscover the sparkling form that convinced Liverpool to purchase him in the summer and he put in another indifferent performance in this fixture.
Jordan Henderson (off 76') - 3.0
While Allen was largely disappointing, it was Henderson who put in the most unexceptional performance for the Reds. He hardly saw the ball for the most part of his time on the pitch, and his substitution was very much justified.
Steven Gerrard - 6.5
The Liverpool skipper no longer seems to possess as much game-changing ability as he used to, but one cannot fault his industry in midfield. Gerrard roamed the expanses of midfield to support his team-mates in attack in defence, but it was his set-piece deliveries that proved to be the most useful.
Stewart Downing (off 76') - 4.5
With so much to prove after being handed a rare start by Rodgers, Downing spent most of the game a largely anonymous figure. He hardly moved up in support of the attack, and though he endeavoured to keep up with Hernandez's runs down the right, his inexperience meant he took up poor positions that left him on the back-foot.
Raheem Sterling - 7.0
The young winger put in a conscientious performance which saw him shoulder both attacking and defensive responsibilities admirably. Sterling appears to be growing in stature with every game as he stayed composed in possession despite immense pressure from the opposition. Tormenting Davies with his speedy dribbles, the 17-year old put in several dangerous deliveries and got into decent goal-scoring positions, but to the disappointment of Liverpool fans, was not able to get on the score-sheet.
Luis Suarez - 7.5
Despite being outnumbered in and around the penalty area, Suarez made himself a thorn in the side of the Swansea defence with his crafty touches and shimmies. His movement around the box also freed up space for Enrique and Sterling to carve open opportunities.
Jonjo Shelvey (on 76') - 6.5
Joe Cole (on 76') - 6.0

Recently, the Department of Veterans Affairs released two new tools they hope will improve GI Bill beneficiary's higher education process. The first is an online GI Bill Feedback System that is accessible to Veterans, Service members, and eligible dependents to report issues they may have encountered while using their GI Bill at an institution of higher education. Information gathered from the feedback system will be reported to the appropriate department to help resolve and prevent any future issues. Five days later the VA implemented a GI Bill Comparison Tool that provides beneficiaries an assortment of information about institutions of higher education to help inform their decision about where they will attend. Both tools are applying standards from Executive Order 13607 and are encouraging institutions to comply with the Principles of Excellence.
Institutions of higher education are continuously looking to find ways to better support today's service members and veterans reach their educational attainment goals. Recently a large part of the conversation surrounding promising practices for supporting student veterans has focused on developing programs that increase acceptance of academic credit for military training and occupations in order to increase academic success and decrease time to attainment. Through these conversations, many institutions have developed and implemented various types of policies and programs through the use of institutional task forces, articulation agreements, competency based assessments, and what is often referred to as stackable credentials.
Academically-bound transitioning servicemembers and veterans walk a path cluttered by obstacles and challenges. Dealing with an oftentimes profound disconnect from the mainstream student body, student veterans must juggle and support the competing demands of an exacting course load, potential employment, and a personal life that frequently includes a family. A campus seemingly void of peers with shared experiences, coupled with a lack of understanding on the part of campus administration can leave veterans missing the sense of camaraderie enjoyed during service and can provide a serious impediment to obtaining a diplomaAs veterans transition from the military into higher education they are faced with a variety of challenges. Disabled and/or severely injured veterans are often faced with even greater challenges and may need extra considerations. Institutions of higher education have been finding innovative and creative ways to help meet the specific needs of this student population. We would like to hear from you about the programs and services your institution has implemented to address these issues.

Open letter to running demons,
Each of us have demons running, and running demons.
Let's talk a bit about running demons.
Whether it's that coveted PR or BQ or time/distance goal, we are all running with the demon inside. The demon inside may, for some, be called 'drive' or 'desire.' A yearning, not unlike any other life dream, to catch that time, or 'that' specific race-distance-glory quest.
Running is running...
Pace is perspective. Those that run a 6 minute/mile pace should not look down on others that run a 12+ minute/mile pace. More importantly, they should not assume that running a faster pace is within all of us. Some are not capable, literally, of such fast times. Others choose not to work quite THAT hard, sacrifice THAT much to hit those times. This makes us no lesser a person. I am quite happy with my slower pace, and ability to go long.
The Loop as of late seems to have created a hierarchy that some do not agree with. I'm neither here, nor there on the subject. I've been on the Loop for many, many moons and have seen many, many changes, both technological and personal.
I do not believe disparaging a person in the flesh is any less egregious than belittling a runner online. We all have demons, both personal and run associated. I see no need to let them frolic with others demons. Let's not let them win.
Loopville is a different entity all together, I agree. However, those that participate more there than here are no lesser a people. Popping in for a quick 'Howdy do?' is much easier, than cultivating and publishing a bloop. I often feel I do not have enough to say about my running, or it is not interesting enough. And you know what? I'm right. My runs are not that interesting, I'm not training for a specific race or distance, and I refuse to make the Loop a place where I complain about life or personal matters. Refuse. Not to mince words with some, it's just not for me.
I have felt discriminated against for asking questions regarding Loopville, only to be 'shouted' at that 'this isn't the Loop!' I am quite aware of this. I have also been on the Loop for longer than most folks that participate in Loopville. I'm no elder by any means, but I've been around longer than some of the folks that insist I'm not a 'runner' because I do not bloop. I have three bloops I could post about my Fall/Winter races, but my guess is I won't. Why? Because of the arrogance and negativity that seems to be lurking in the shadows. (If you find yourself offended, perhaps you should step out, scroll on, 'flag' me, I am not offended) Lately, I've only blooped because certain beloved people in my life have insisted, since they were getting race details in drips and drabs. I continue to read, and hope to go on reading wondrous stories of trial and triumph.
Don't get me wrong, negativity and superiority reign everywhere. That's fact. On Loopville, however, it is much easier to mentally flag, and scroll through items that are written by known 'offenders.' If I don't like it, I don't read it. Boom. Easy peasy. Why others cannot seem to grasp this concept, I'll never know. Also, I would not ever discourage it! Differences of opinion and personality are what make the world go round. Who would want to be a drone, living life as boring as a cardboard box (that never got to go on a trip)? Booooooriiiiing!
I encourage diversity. I encourage runners. I encourage people.
I however do not encourage stupidity. Like I said arrogance and ignorance walk a fine line. Running through severe injury, without taking the proper steps and precautions to become injury free is, in my opinion, dumb. Possibly even reckless. Our bodies are the only thing we truly have on this Earth for the short time we are allowed to be here. Why do some insist on breaking theirs?
Now, don't get me wrong, challenges and pushing boundaries are a must. But there is a difference between pushing and breaking. We all know this to be true. There are extremes to everything...but not all persons are capable of those extremes. We are different. Everybody is different, and every body is different. What works for one (or 24) may not work for another (or 6,876). This goes for all walks of life.
Also, I'm sorry, but cliques happen. It's more of a "separate circles of friends" thing, rather than an exclusion of others. Without them, there would be no differentiation of class, status, abilities, talents, etc.. We tend to find people that "run at our pace" if you will, and hang with them. Of course, it is healthy to surround oneself with others that comfort you, as well as, challenge you. Mentally, emotionally, physically... Whether that be a faster runner, or even a slower runner...taking one out of their head for a bit.
For the record I stopped going to the Loop as much simply because I couldn't keep up. There were just too many non running stories, which I found boring. Not to mention the popularity contest of 'left side vs. right side.' Then Pluck.
Originally, I used the Loop for encouragement and running advice. I didn't deem myself worthy of blooping or of the Loop in general, since I didn't pump out the mileage/pace most others were blooping about. That may be why I feel more comfortable in Loopville. I personally do not like drama. Therefore, I do not encourage it, nor do I admonish it. I do not particularly care to feed into the egos of those perched on their pedestals, looking down on me. Likewise, I will not be there to catch them when they fall, or help them back up. Call me a heartless if you like, I do not tolerate sycophantic nonsense in my life. My life is tough enough, without 'strangers' (that claim to be my friends) tearing me down every chance they get. I do not tolerate duplicity.
I still do read quite a few bloops via email, and if I feel so inclined I'll log on to comment or peruse further. I do not read every, single bloop...I'm not a speed reader nor a person with that much time. If I don't like it, I don't read it. That's not to say I do not give folks a second (and third, fourth etc) chance, but I won't publicly pity myself nor condemn them. People are real both on the Loop and in Loopville. I find people are more real on Loopville, less room to spin stories, although I realize I am in the minority thinking this. I do not care to read a novela about one 4 mile run...unless you're Dickens, or you ran with Jornet. If one is looking for negativity and hate, they will undoubtedly find it, regardless of if it is truly there.
So, please, let's all put our demons aside...and JFR!
Oh, I'm racing this weekend. Doubt I'll bloop about it. Maybe ask me in Loopville. ;-)
P.S. Although it would be wonderful to be able to attend countless Loopfests (I want to go to them ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!), that is not feasible for all of us. That doesn't make one any less of a Loopster.
If you know me at all, and most of you do not, then you know me to be a genuine and honest person. There is nothing I wouldn't say to your face that someone else said I said behind your back. Trust. I'll most likely 'run' away after this, burned out.
Run well. Run Strong. Run fun.
Variety is the spice of life. That's what makes it worth living.
Your day is what you make of it
Rock on and keep on running.....
Inspire Yourself
I'm not sure what happened, but I'm sorry it did. I hope you, or any people with differences can reconcile. It's difficult when you have so many people communicating electronically in one area - especially with a "quick hit comment" situation - to avoid something that may cause another to get upset. So, I hope you don't let whatever it is/was bother you unnecessarily. I do think sometimes we all need to move along when we read/hear anything in general terms that we may not agree with or possible offend.
"..offense is taken, not given" - Ricky Gervais - I think there is a lot a truth in these words. It's not an easy task to undertake.
Most limitations are self made.
I think you should bloop about your runs. Isn't that the whole purpose of this site? I personally will click on anything where someone is talking about running. I may or may not comment if I don't feel moved to contribute but I appreciate all the blogs that are about actual running.
It takes a lot of courage to be so candid and open. I commend you for it--it says a lot about you as a person…all good.
I, too, wish you would bloop more often. I know exactly how you feel about not wanting to bloop because you don't feel you have anything interesting to say. But a Race Report is always a good bloop. That way, I wouldn't have to incessantly bug you for details on Loopville after every race
Big hugs to you--please don't go away.
Run fun! ~Mike
so someone told you youre not a runner bc you dont blog? LAME-O.
Just be yourself and bloop when you feel you need to. But please dont hold back bc of someone elses negativity.
You are a beautiful, smart, funny, and very real women. I will stand by you no matter what anyone else thinks especially some self important "runner". L-ville 4 life.
are those space shorts your wearing because your running is out of this world.
Speed is all relative. The people that matter don't mind, and the people that mind don't matter. All you can do, is to be true to yourself. Please blog more.
Things have been a bit negative for me as well. I have never been one of the cool kids, but here in the loop I have found people I can be myself with and have a great time with.
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 26.2.
I always thought a real runner was defined by whether or not they wore tights in the winter....
especially if they're male.
Live the Life you Love ~ Love the Life you Live
Social media can be hard to navigate; what one person sees as positive or negative might be in completely different context for another. "To thine own self be true..." It's a great motto for life- and the Loop/Loopville.
Good luck with the race!
You keep on doing your thang girl!
And by thang I mean making vegan desserts, dog breed expert-ising and being an all round BA!
Well put
"Like a Madman Laughing at the Rain"
I'm sad that you are hurt. I really don't understand how you were hurt, or who was looking down on who. I hope it was unintentional.
I also hope you enjoy the race this weekend, and if you don't feel like blooping, don't. Both the Loop and Loopville are here to enhance our lives, not burden us.
Nope, sorry about that…I can't let you have the last word on your last word
Last comment....right.....I like the way the Loop and Loopville compliment each other. I believe I met you through Loopville, and I'm glad I did.
Pace is perspective. Those that run a 6 minute/mile pace should not look down on others that run a 12+ minute/mile pace.
Pace is perspective. Those that run a 6 minute/mile pace should not look down on others that run a 12+ minute/mile pace.
I don't post here often, I prefer to just read as i don't really have any interest in writing about my own training as it makes me feel funny, like I'm bragging. But that part resonated with me the most because it's something I believe deeply. I am competitive as hell, but outside of races I don't ask nor tell anyone about paces for training, race times, etc because I dont think it matters. If someone is getting out there and running that's all that matters and a mile is a mile no matter how quickly you run it.
good luck in your training and future races.
Girl, you always make me laugh so hard in Loopville. Seriously hope I get to one day belly laugh with you in person. And to the meanie-pants peeps--don't drink the Hater-ade! Kumbaya and stuff...
I'm feeling like I've missed something... But as the slowest runner of us all, on the Loop or on Loopville, I'm certainly not looking down on your times!
I'd love it if you'd bloop about your race. But no pressure to do so.
A runner is someone who runs. How exactly you define the term other than that is open to interpretation.
As for drama and blooping about personal, non-running things going on in our lives, well...personally I feel running is such an integral part of my life that it's often hard to separate the two. I see running in life and life in running. Not only that, but sometimes I just need to vent a little bit and so far everyone I've encountered here has been very friendly and supportive in general. Running being so important to me, I feel that other runners understand me better in some ways than non runners do, and where I live now I have no real offline runner friends to talk to about things. I like and trust the people here, so I keep coming back.
I hope whatever negativity you've experienced here subsides and isn't representative of the majority. Be yourself and just keep running, no matter what your times or race results. I haven't raced in a year and a half myself, but I know I still have that demon inside driving me to run, whether it be to train for a future race or just to run for the sake of running, because running IS life to me. Don't let anyone else get you down.
Don't stop believing
Well said. As one who isn't a Fastie, I do sometimes feel that I'm being judged,but I don't know if that's me just thinking it or peole actually are.
I've made a great group of friends. The Loop is great when I have the time to read here, but my Loop frienships have really been fostered by Loopville. It's much easier to navigate and can be done in real-time. We're real everywhere!
Sometimes maybe close friendships can be seen as cliques to the outside, but if you're on the outside of the friendship circle and don't really have much common with that group, then what's the big deal? Everyone's got their circle of friends that they're a part of, and I think we all also wish we were part of other circles, even if it's not really one we would fit to well.
Basically, RUN!
Well said. I can't believe that I read that whole bloop. Long bloops usually lose my interest.
Life's a little better when we run.
I think I've read these same thoughts about Loopville being negative and judgemental, and the Loop being more friendly and accepting. I've seen both in both places - sometimes at the same time. Funny how we all look at things differently.
Whatever, I'm happy to have you here and there, however you choose to participate.
Attitude is everything
I'm a slow runner, with very little hope of getting faster, especially if I keep making my races longer. But I like slow and fast runners alike.
And there were a couple of sentences I had to re-read... your English is so evolved it challenges me!
I was going to write I liked you even more after this bloop... but I don't want you to think I am sycophantic
Type soon, <3
"Glory is Fleeting, Anonymity is Forever"
Speed+Pavement = a fling
Distance+Trails = True Love
this really is a raw and heart felt blog, I love it.
To put it in perspective for you.....About a year and a half ago I was attacked by a slower runner accusing me of "bragging". I wasnt. I was just sharing my accomplishments with a group of people that I thought cared. Turns out that person was just insecure about their own running. At first I thought about not posting times bc of it, but ya know what, I decided to just be me. I hope you can also do the same!

Lungolivigno's winter
When you ski in Livigno, you are obliged to make choices. There are 115 km of well-maintained slopes on the two opposing sides of the valley that contains the river Spöl. So these choices are not easy, but are rather definitive for any given day. On one side is Monte Sponda with a ski area anchored by the Mottlino gondola lift. On the other side is the Blesaccia, where the Carosello 3000 leads to another entire group of ski runs. The best times to avoid the crowds are January, right after the year-end holiday rush, and March, when the daytime sun and nighttime freeze makes for great skiing off the beaten track. Cross-country ski enthusiasts have plenty of choice too, but simpler. 40 km of track on the valley floor include easy loops with little change in elevation and exciting courses that rise and fall along the skirts of the valley walls. On December 18 the main track will become the scene of the 16th annual Sgambeda, the international cross-country marathon that opens the winter holiday season. This event puts skiers' legs and lungs to a serious test over a course covering 42 km at high-altitude; those not in top shape can step out with pride upon reaching intermediate finish lines at the 16 or 26 km marks.
High-altitude shopping
The best way to get to the center is in an old-fashioned horse-drawn sleigh, with the silence only broken by the muffled clip-clop of hooves on the snow. But it's also nice to walk down the path along the river until you reach the pedestrian zone in town. And then on to the Lungolivigno boutiques - Da Giuseppina, Renna Sport and Connaction - that offer in January a preview of the spring and summer fashions for 2006.
Plus, these shops lay on special service for guests at Lungolivigno hotels: mending in 24 hours, delivery of purchases to the hotel and the assistance of an expert fashion consultant.
Wellness of body and mind
The 900 m2 wellness center at Lac Salin Spa & Mountain Resort is also open to non-residents! Guests from the Concordia and the Paré Hotels are welcome to relax in the sauna, whirlpool, tropical shower and Kneipp bath - before taking a dip in the spacious pool. You'll find techniques that come from the Far East, like Ayurveda and Shiatzu. Plus purifying and toning treatments that employ products by Maria Galland, the most exclusive in European cosmetics. Not to mention massages bound to Livigno's popular tradition, using essential oil from the arnica that blossoms in the alpine pastures, or feloy resin drawn from the trunks of conifers that line the sides of our valley.

Research in this section is directed toward understanding brain mechanisms underlying the generation and control of innate motor behavior in the mammalian CNS. One of the fundamental challenges in contemporary neuroscience is to explain the generation of behavior in terms of the cellular and neural network properties of neural systems. Networks generating movement, particularly those producing innate rhythmic motor behaviors such as breathing and locomotion, provide important model systems to address this problem. We study brainstem networks producing rhythmic breathing movements. Our long-range goal is to explain the neurogenesis of respiratory movements at the molecular, biophysical, synaptic, and network levels. The respiratory network is one of the few neural systems that can generate behaviorally relevant patterns of neural activity in highly reduced preparations of the mammalian CNS. This attribute has enabled us to develop unique in vitro preparations (e.g. see Koshiya and Smith, 1999), including brain slice preparations, that retain active respiratory networks, allowing concurrent measurements at cellular, synaptic, and network levels in the context of behaviorally meaningful network activity.
Our current in vitro studies focus mainly on mechanisms generating the neural oscillation underlying the rhythm of breathing. We are conducting interrelated studies to determine biophysical properties, morphology, network architecture, and synaptic interactions of the rhythm-generating neurons in the pre-Botzinger complex, the brainstem locus of rhythm generation (Smith et al., Science 254: 726-729, 1991). Our experimental techniques include whole-cell patch-clamp recording for studies of biophysical and synaptic properties, infrared and fluorescence videomicroscopy for real-time imaging of single cell and neuron population activity with calcium-sensitive dyes (Koshiya and Smith, 1999), and computational modeling of neurons, synapses, and networks (Butera et al., 1999).

Writing to read-only devices with aufs2
Invisible Ink
Add temporary write capability to a read-only device with the stacked filesystem aufs.
Aufs [1] is a stacked filesystem similar to UnionFS [2]. One very common use for aufs is adding "temporary writing" capability to a filesystem residing on read-only media. I use aufs in Knoppix to join read-only data from the compressed Knoppix file (usually located on a CD or DVD) with a read-write filesystem on ramdisk or a USB flash drive. A stacked filesystem creates a stack of existing directories that are "transparent" to the user: Each access to a file is tried for each directory of the stack until it succeeds or the end of the stack is reached.
Even if you aren't building your own Live system, you still might have a practical use for aufs as a means of adding virtual read-write access to files stored on a read-only device. In this article, I describe how to add temporary write capability to a read-only device using aufs.
Gitting Aufs2
Aufs2 comes in two forms: a complete Git-based kernel with aufs2 included and a "standalone" version that contains only the changes that have to be patched into the kernel source.
Because checking out the complete aufs2-patched kernel is probably not the most common scenario and because compiling the ready-to-build version is no real challenge, I will describe the procedure for adding the standalone version of aufs2 to the vanilla kernel source, which you can always get from the Linux Kernel Archives [3].
The following examples are based on kernel version 2.6.29, which resides in a subdirectory of the current working directory and is called linux-2.6.29.
If you have never used git before, it might be missing from your development system. On Debian-based systems, the command for installing it is
aptitude install git-core
For other package management systems, consult your vendor documentation.
The command to check out aufs2 as standalone patch for kernel 2.6.29 is:
git clone http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/scm/aufs/aufs2-standalone.git aufs2-standalone.git
After this command, aufs2-standalone.git will be a local copy of the aufs2-standalone Git repository.
The command
git checkout origin/aufs2-29
checks out the aufs2 version for kernel 2.6.29 (note the 29 at the end of the command parameters) and defines it as the current working version. You might see a Git note or warning about origin/aufs2-29 not being a local branch, which you can safely ignore at this point.
Listing 1 shows the current working directory aufs2-standalone.git (ls -l). The directory fs includes the aufs2 source, and the include directory holds the necessary kernel include files for aufs2. Both must be copied into the kernel source directory.
Listing 1
aufs2-standalone.git (ls -l )
01 -rw-r--r-- 1 knopper users 9222 15. Apr 00:51 aufs2-standalone.patch 02 -rw-r--r-- 1 knopper users 40296 15. Apr 00:51 ChangeLog 03 -rw-r--r-- 1 knopper users 661 15. Apr 00:47 config.mk 04 -rw-r--r-- 1 knopper users 17990 15. Apr 00:47 COPYING 05 drwxr-xr-x 4 knopper users 104 15. Apr 00:51 Documentation 06 -rw-r--r-- 1 knopper users 1481 15. Apr 00:51 ecryptfs.patch 07 drwxr-xr-x 3 knopper users 72 15. Apr 00:51 fs 08 drwxr-xr-x 3 knopper users 72 15. Apr 00:51 include 09 -rw-r--r-- 1 knopper users 617 15. Apr 00:47 Makefile
Adding Aufs2 Source Files
If your kernel source is located one directory above in linux-2.6.29, enter:
cd ../linux-2.6.29 cp -a ../aufs2-standalone.git/{fs,include,Documentation} . cp ../aufs2-standalone.git/config.mk fs/aufs/
The aufs2 README describes aufs2 installation differently, but I find that the method of copying all additional aufs2 source files directly to the kernel source tree is a convenient way for building ready-to-use Linux kernel image packages in Debian containing aufs2 without the need to create a modules/aufs subdirectory with a corresponding external module infrastructure.
Patching the Kernel
In the aufs2-standalone.git directory (Listing 1), you might have noticed a file called aufs2-standalone.patch. This file contains changes that have to be made to various filesystem-related places of the original kernel source. The kernel's Makefile and configuration system also require that some changes be made to them so that aufs2 will be visible as a new filesystem in make menuconfig. From the current directory, linux-2.6.29, use patch as follows,
patch -p1 < ../aufs2-standalone.git/aufs2-standalone.patch
which produces the output shown in Listing 2.
If you see no lines to indicate that an error has resulted from the patch, then everything is now set up and ready to compile.

Popcorn Sales
Across America, Scouts and leaders have funded their Scouting programs and increased their popcorn sales each year through a long standing partnership with Trail's End. Trails End is proud to have served Scouting for over 30 years, and their mission has always been the same: to help Scout packs, troops and councils raise the money needed to fund their programs and activities throughout the year. Popcorn helps to pay for the activities Scouts do, for the camps they attend, and for the equipment they need, like kayaks, tents and uniforms.
Boys can earn much more than money; few activities demonstrate to Scouts the value of planning, organization, and commitment more clearly than a Unit's combined efforts in a popcorn sale. Scouts develop and practice new skills, learn about sales and marketing, and reach new levels of personal success. And, once again, scouts who participate in the sale can work toward requirements for Achievements, Activity Badges, and Merit Badges.
See how the popcorn sale has helped Scouts just like you accomplish goals and achieve success!
Take a look at how Trails End manufactures their world class popcorn.
Take a look at a video showing how to conduct a successful unit kickoff.

Four years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, UCLA professors and researchers from various departments continue to work to better understand how the events affect American society and the world.
This story was first published in the Daily Bruin.
In the days after the attacks, Americans had concerns over the future of the economy and the safety of the country's transit systems and asked questions about why America's intelligence system was not able to prevent the attacks.
UCLA academics have used the past four years to conduct research and try to answer some of these questions.
Three UCLA researchers have explored the economic impacts of Sept. 11, intelligence reform and the safety of transit systems given potential terrorist threats, an issue which was brought again to public consciousness with the attacks in London in July and Madrid in March 2004.
Christopher Thornberg, a senior economist with the UCLA Anderson Forecast, was one researcher who studied long-term economic impacts of the attacks.
Thornberg compared economic data from the time period after Sept. 11, 2001 to other major domestic events such as Hurricane Andrew and the Northridge earthquake, and found that the attacks have not significantly affected the economy in the long term.
While Thornberg notes that the attacks impacted America's psyche, he found that the United States did not experience a recession in the long run.
For an event to cause a recession, Thornberg said three elements are required: The event needs to be big, rapid, and sustained over a duration of time.
Thornberg came to the conclusion that the event was big and rapid, but it was not sustained over a duration of time.
As a result, Thornberg concluded that these type of "disasters do not cause recession."
Based on his findings, terrorism and natural disasters will only postpone business, but not prevent it from taking place in the long term.
"Business is delayed, but not cancelled," he said.
Thornberg compared New York after Sept. 11 to the local communities affected by natural disasters, such as Hurricane Andrew in parts of Florida and Louisiana in 1992 and the Northridge earthquake in California two years later.
He concluded that "there is no evidence showing consumers respond to domestic tragedies."
In other words, these events typically do not affect how consumers behave and they will continue to spend and participate in the economy.
Professor Amy Zegart, in the public policy department, has studied intelligence reform.
In 2006, she will be releasing a book called "Intelligence in Wonderland: 9/11 and the Roots of Failure."
In her book, Zegart writes that "the Cold War had dominated both the thinking and operation of the CIA and the 13 other agencies of the U.S. intelligence community," even in light of emerging terrorist threats.
Zegart believes that after the Cold War, America's intelligence agencies were slow to adapt with the changing world.
"The U.S. intelligence community showed a stunning inability to adapt to the rise of terrorism after the Cold War ended," Zegart said.
The book will detail how well intelligence agencies adapted to the threat of terrorism and the difficulties associated with intelligence reforms.
Professor Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris in the social welfare department has conducted a study on the safety of America's transit systems. She started the research at the end of 2003 and finished the study in June.
Loukaitou-Sideris worked with a team of professors and graduate students from UCLA, as well as other universities in a study funded by the UCLA International Institute and the Mineta Transportation Institute.
With her team, Loukaitou-Sideris also analyzed the safety of transit systems of major cities, such as London, Paris, Madrid and Tokyo, and compared these international cities with the United States.
To study the transit systems of these foreign cities, the team traveled abroad and spoke with transportation officials.
During the two-year study, they also evaluated the safety of American transit systems and in their research found that European cities tend to have more centralized planning in the government.
"We really need to give more attention to transit safety. ... We need to do more," Loukaitou-Sideris said.
According to her findings, public transit centers, such as bus stations and subways, are especially vulnerable.
Her team came to the conclusion that "major threats are in the largest systems, in the largest cities."
The professor believes "we need to standardize the procedure of emergency response" with better coordination between state and federal governments.
"There is much more coordination (in Europe) than what exists in the United States," she said.
However, she said she believes that the United States is moving in the right direction.
The study concluded that more federal funding and better coordination between federal and state governments are the keys to improving America's transit centers.

Guest Column: Outsourcing Aggies
Gabriel Clark: A&M should take care of its own, including staff
Published: Wednesday, April 4, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 23:07
There was a meeting on March 21 in Rudder Theatre about "Outsourcing Custodial and Dining Staff at Texas A&M University." As I sat in the room filled with hundreds of people — among whom were University President R. Bowen Loftin, Associate Provost for Diversity Christine Stanley and two custodians who I have known for majority of my college career — I listened to several heart-breaking testimonies.
These testimonies demonstrated how detrimental outsourcing will be if System Chancellor John Sharp allows this plan to move forward. The custodial and dining staffs are at risk of losing their jobs at this very moment. Why should you care? Many of these workers — 97 percent of whom are racial minorities — have gone beyond what was asked of them. The two custodians I have known since my sophomore year have always demonstrated hard work with a smile on each of their faces. These women have worked for the University for almost 30 years.
If this plan of "outsourcing" follows through, both could lose all their benefits, not to mention the retirement that they deserve. Many others face similar uncertainty after decades of service to the A&M faculty and student body.
If we call ourselves Aggies, I believe we are obligated — as students, cadets, faculty, and staff — to take a stand and let our voices be heard. We make Texas A&M University. It is not the other way around.
Join me, and we will take a stand caring for our Aggie family. Do your part by spreading the word and letting these staff members know that we care about them just as much as they care about us.
We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we.
Gabriel Clark is a senior psychology major

As crazy as some will think this is I have already done a similar schematic. The reason you will be proven correct about an eventual similar arrangement has nothing to do with football. The geographic alignment will have everything to do with the economy, having reached peak oil with the resultant fuel prices, and the effort to keep fan bases energized as many of them have to make tough choices about their remaining discretionary income.
With high def televisions, air conditioning, clean bathrooms, and a well stocked kitchen where every item is not costing me $5 my 40 plus years of season tickets could well come to an end if those marketing the stadium experience don't soon make some changes.
I go for the game and for the social experience. I like to keep up with other games while I'm there. I like to talk to the people I've known for those 40 years who sit around me and catch up on their kids and grandkids during halftime and before kickoff. In the last decade that has become impossible. I can't shout loudly enough into the ear of my friend seated right next to me to be heard over the constantly blairing music coming from the loudspeakers of the stadium. Who are the morons who think that silence before a game is a bad thing. Don't they know that older people, who pay the #$%@ bills like to talk to their buddies and that it would be far easier for us to avoid the drunks, avoid the traffic, keep up with other games, and relax on Saturday, if we didn't want to talk to old friends at the stadium. The reasons for staying home now outnumber those of going to the game 10-1.
My suggestions: If the school needs revenue sell me a parking place along with my tickets. Keep the #$%@ vendors from standing in front of me because they want to see the important play that I paid well over $300 bucks to see (counting the contributions I make averaged out per game with ticket prices.) Let me talk to my friends!!! In the concessions area have a wall of flatscreens showing the other games in progress so that I can go to the men's room, buy a $5 coke and a $5 dollar hotdog, stand out of the sun while I eat them, and see what the hell is going on everywhere else before I return to my seat.
Finally, if you continue to tick off the old folks, who were blessed to earn a decent wage in a better America than the ones these poor kids are inheriting, and peak oil makes it too expensive for all of those kids with lousy paying jobs to be able to afford to buy tickets and drive to their teams games, who the heck is going to fill our stadiums outside of the super wealthy, the locals, and the students. All of your average attendance will be below 30,000 then.
Solution: Take what you've started with, regional play, outside of old conference alignments. Add to that socially friendly environements with some of the amenities of home, graduated ticket prices so that the young can get tickets (even in the end zones and upper decks cheaper than $75 per, and the old who can afford them pay $100-150 per to sit under the eaves on the lower deck, with premium for yardline locations, and all available upon their annual contribution to the fund and we might just be getting somewhere. Our world problems won't go away. Our self imposed thoughtless ones could. Innovation to the social side of the events can help to save the game day experience. I've nothing agains tailgating, the crud starts inside the stadium. That we can fix.

ALBERTA, CANADA -- A construction worker had a day at work he'll probably never forget.
The worker at an oil pipeline site in Canada dropped his shovel right on top of fossilized remains of a large dinosaur. After finding the fossils the crew stopped what they were doing and called a paleontologist.
The expert says finding a fossil this well-preserved and complete is incredibly rare. It's still not clear what species the dinosaur was.
A research team is now scrambling to carefully remove the fossil before Canada's harsh winter sets in.

Radiation therapy for osteosarcoma
Clinical trials for osteosarcoma
You may have had to make a lot of decisions since you've been told you (or your child) has cancer. One of the most important decisions you will make is deciding which treatment is best. You might have heard about clinical trials being done for this type of cancer. Or maybe someone on your health care team has mentioned a clinical trial to you.
Clinical trials are carefully controlled research studies that are done with patients who volunteer for them. These studies are done to get a closer look at promising new treatments or procedures.
If you would like to find out more about clinical trials you (or your child) might be eligible for, you should start by asking your doctor if your clinic or hospital conducts clinical trials. You can also call our clinical trials matching service for a list of clinical trials that meet your medical needs. You can reach this service at 1-800-303-5691 or on our Web site at www.cancer.org/clinicaltrials. You can also get a list of current clinical trials by calling the National Cancer Institute Cancer Information Service toll free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or by visiting the NCI clinical trials Web site at www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials.
People have to meet certain requirements to take part in any clinical trial. If you (or your child) qualify for a clinical trial, you will have to decide whether or not to enroll in it. Older children, who can understand more, usually must also agree to take part in the clinical trial before the parents' consent is accepted.
Clinical trials are one way to get state-of-the-art cancer care. Sometimes they may be the only way to get access to some newer treatments. They are also the only way for doctors to learn better methods to treat cancer. Still, they are not right for everyone.
You can get a lot more information on clinical trials in our document called Clinical Trials: What You Need to Know. You can read it on our Web site or call our toll-free number (1-800-227-2345) and have it sent to you.

OUR FAR-FLUNG CORRESPONDENTS about Celebration, the new Disney community. The writer is watching Larry Haber and his family move into their new house at Celebration; they are the first residents of the new town being built by the Walt Disney Company. The genesis of the idea for Celebration came from Walt Disney himself--he called it the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, or EPCOT; yet when EPCOT finally opened, after Walt's death, it was a theme park, not a residential community. Disney C.E.O. Michael Eisner is an architecture buff and several years ago, the company decided to implement Walt's vision. Celebration is an unincorporated town under the rule of Osceola County. When the town is completed, in 10 or 15 years, it could have as many as 20,000 inhabitants. It is the most comprehensively planned new town since Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia, were built, in the mid-'60s. Celebration's temporary preview center opened last August. The response was overwhelming and lots were drawn that November. The house that the Habers were moving into was built by David Weekley Homes, of Houston--one of two home builders chosen by Disney after an exhaustive national process. House prices range from $130,000 for a townhouse to more than $300,000 for the largest detached house; custom-built houses start at $425,000. The houses in Celebration favor traditional styles: Coastal, Classical, Victorian, Colonial Revival, Mediterranean, and French. Celebration also has a cast of celebrated architects: Michael Graves, Philip Johnson, Cesar Pelli, etc. The town's ordinary buildings are all designed by either Robert A. M. Stern or Jacquelin Robertson, of Cooper, Robertson & Partners, who are also the planners of the town. Celebration puts technology in the background and concentrates on putting in place the less tangible civil infrastructure that is a prerequisite for community. Charles E. Fraser, the creator of Sea Pines Plantation, on Hilton Head Island, in South Carolina, pioneered the post-WWII application of many of the concepts which are today standard practice in master-planned communities; he has been a consultant at Celebration for the past 7 years. Disneyland radically transformed the amusement park. Celebration will change the way we think about planning new communities.

In an effort to take the hassle out of paying and tracking meeting-related expenses, American Express has launched a credit card specifically for meetings and events.
The Corporate Meeting Card, which in November finished a year-long beta period with nearly 200 companies, is intended to help planners on the front-end by identifying them as the corporate meeting planner and eliminating the need to complete multiple credit applications, and on the back-end by consolidating meeting bills onto one statement. Planners can receive an electronic file to feed into their accounting software, allowing them to designate charges to specific cost centers and track spending.
American Express is working with the major hotel chains to get the new card accepted for unlimited meeting charges. It currently has more than 80 hotels and resorts in the program, which means that credit applications are not necessary for those properties.

Food, glorious food.
Quite a bit of the stuff gets flung, splattered and slopped around the stage by the end of Richard Jones' wickedly droll staging of "Hansel and Gretel," which returned to Lyric Opera Friday night at the Civic Opera House. The British director banishes the comfy sentimentality and gingerbread sweetness of Engelbert Humperdinck's operatic fairytale in favor of something decidedly more Grimm. The show is deliciously dark, full of theatrical whimsy, a different kind of holiday entertainment adults as well as today's hipper older kids can enjoy.
First presented here in 2001, this imaginative retooling of "Hansel and Gretel" is a co-production with the Welsh National Opera, where it proved to be one of the most admired productions of general director Anthony Freud's tenure, 13 years before he assumed the same title at Lyric. Since then the show has traveled to the Metropolitan Opera and elsewhere, proving its durability.
Lyric's revival smacks of old home week, with two of its Ryan Opera Center success stories, mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong and soprano Maria Kanyova, taking the title roles, and Ward Stare, who once played principal trombone in the Lyric Orchestra before embarking on a fulltime podium career, making his Lyric conducting debut. All serve the best interests of Humperdinck's glorious score. So, in his way, does director Eric Einhorn, whose staging sticks to the Jones playbook, within John Macfarlane's witty sets and Jennifer Tipton's atmospheric lighting.
Hansel and Gretel are caged adolescents turned sullen and rebellious by hunger and poverty. Their mother (Julie Makerov) is a suicidal scold, their father (Brian Mulligan) a drunk. Their search for berries takes them from a drab 1950s kitchen to a surreal "forest" consisting of four supernumeraries with heads that sprout branches. The lost children proceed to smear each other with berry juice before falling into a deep slumber.
For the dream-pantomime, Hansel and Gretel imagine themselves sitting down to a formal banquet served by 14 chubby, angel-winged chefs, dressed in identical white aprons and toques, and a Magritte-style maitre d' with a fish-head for a head. It's the show's most emblematic and touching scene. DeShong and Kanyova blended voices beautifully here, their singing cushioned by the mellifluous sonorities Stare coaxed from the orchestra.
Having adhered to a serious tone up to now, the production takes a turn for the funny-macabre for the final scene in the Witch's (Jill Grove) lair, a stainless-steel industrial kitchen piled high with fancy desserts. The cackling crone has a penchant for tasty children and does her best to fatten up her captives with the gooey confections. All three wind up a sticky mess, along with the stage. After seeing this show, audience members may think twice about going for that extra helping of plum pudding at Christmas time.
Friday's performance took a scene or two to hit its musical and dramatic stride. DeShong needed time for her rich voice to fully blossom, but she had the acting chops to believably convey Hansel's physical awkwardness and mental cleverness.
Kanyova (who, incidentally, had doubled as the Sandman and Dew Fairy in Lyric's previous "Hansel and Gretel") tried to minimize the disadvantage of her height by making Gretel's movements gangly and angular, but I felt she overdid it in the horseplay of the opening scene. However, she, too, sang strongly, and both Kanyova and DeShong commanded enough vocal heft to comfortably ride the score's rich orchestration.
Grove, so powerful earlier this season as another crazed villainess, Klytemnestra in Strauss' "Elektra," was an absolute hoot here. Her strong dramatic mezzo allowed her to move easily between the Witch's cajolery and the gleeful yelps she emitted when she beheld Hansel helplessly trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey ready for the oven. Grove threw herself gamely into the food fight, actually drawing applause from the audience when Gretel pushed the Witch into her own oven.
Makerov, in her Lyric debut, and Mulligan brought such fine voices and sure dramatic instincts to the opening scene that you wished Humperdinck had given the kids' parents more to sing.
Two current members of the Ryan Center, sopranos Emily Birsan and Kiri Deonarine, were admirable in the supporting roles of the Sandman and Dew Fairy. Birsan sang brightly while operating a wizened marionette. Deonarine hilariously impersonated a perky blond hostess straight out of a '50s dishwashing-liquid commercial.
Stare brought a firm sense of rhythmic impulse to the music, drawing floods of warm, well-blended playing from his former orchestral colleagues. At times his youthful enthusiasm pushed the players rather hard, but there were no obvious lapses in coordination between pit and stage, and he made the orchestra a well-defined presence in the drama. Members of Anima – Young Singers of Greater Chicago did well as the gingerbread children brought back to life after the Witch's demise.
Lyric Opera's production of Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" plays through Jan. 19 at the Civic Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive; $32-$239; 312-332-2244, ext. 5600; lyricopera.org.
